Thanks chop! My plan was to use a chucky for this....but then I saw the leg of lamb on sale for a pretty darn good price. Next one I do will most likely be beef.

We eat lamb as often as possible, and your preparation looks outstanding.

Thanks thirdeye! I appreciate it. Everytime I find lamb on sale I pick some up. Starting to see it more often....hopfully it will catch on around here and prices go down a bit.

Thanks saint! I kept this pretty mild with the guajillo pepper for the sauce. You could add some other dried peppers with some more kick. The orange with the guajillo is it really good ! This is probably one of the most colorful dishes I've ever made. Just that alone tasted good LOL

Travis I couldn't tell you if it's authentic or not, but it's authentic to you. Wonderful looking plate, and I'm betting it tasted even better.

Point for sure

Thats a very inspirational looking dish mate
reads very good and delicious to the eyes
dont wish Lamb to become popular, price will go thru the roof if it becomes Hip.
I use to by brisket down here at $7 a kilo, now its around $13/18 ,

Holy cow that lamb barbacoa looks amazing Travis! Sorry I’m late to the party, but you have any left? I’ll take a sixer to go please.

Rehydrating and blending the chilis give so much more flavor. I freeze my puree into ice cube trays and add to dishes.

Very nicely done and congrats on the ride!

Holy cow Travis that looks amazing you nailed it I just ate and your plating made me hungry, nice work.
And prop's for using the dry chilies for your sauce that really give depth to the meal. I add one of these spice packs to my sauce and cook it down about 1/4 of the way with the spices in it then strain it out it really adds a nice flavor to the pepper sauce try it some time if you can find it I know Amazon sells it, I think you will like it.



I use two packets one for the sauce and one that I grind with a little of the sauce in the blender that I use to marinate the meat in overnight in the refer.

This looks pretty damn authentic too me bro, minus the clay pot or earthen oven which is something I've always wanted to try out in the yard.

Great work.

Thanks Dan ! I'm going to check out the spice packets! I'm with you on digging a hole out in the yard lol! its something thats always intrigued me. Seems like it would be a pretty simple thing to do and lots of things can be cooked that way......who knows might be a spring project!!

We have so many little Mexican stores out here in little Mexico/Norcal that carry it. If you can't find any let me know, and I will grab you some and send them out too you it's no problem at all. I drive through the little Mexico side of town at least four days a week. There is everything from little mom and pop s shops and butcher shops up to full size Mexican Grocery stores that have restaurants and butcher shops in them.
I like the little mom and pop places best as they all have unique salsa's and sauces that you can buy by the pint or quart. They have everything except the donkey shows.
